Houses.

The constitution requires that a resolution for an amendment must pass
two successive Legislatures and the new association saw the task
before it of getting the approval of another session in 1913. It
received national and international attention about this time through
a banner six feet high and four wide, presented by Mrs. Arthur Hodges
of New York, with the words, Nevada, Votes for Women, brought out in
sage brush green letters on a field of vivid orange. This was shipped
to New York and carried by Miss Anne Martin of Reno in a big parade in
that city and then taken to London and carried by her and Miss Vida
